WASHINGTON (AP) -- Calorie by calorie, first lady Michelle Obama is chipping away at big portions and unhealthy food in an effort to help America slim down.
In the two and a half years since she announced her campaign to curb childhood obesity, Mrs. Obama has stood alongside Wal-Mart, Olive Garden and many other food companies as they have announced improvements to their recipes - fewer calories, less sodium, better children's menus.
The changes are small steps, in most cases. Fried foods and french fries will still be on the menu, though enticing pictures of those foods may be gone. High-sodium soups, which many consumers prefer, will still be on the grocery aisle. But the amount of sodium in each can will gradually decrease in some cases, and the taste of their low-sodium variety will be improved.

Excellent news that they’ve solved that problem.
A bigger problem is the impact the huge weather system surrounding her posterior is having on the weather systems in places she visits. Some climatologists believe the recent earthquakes have been caused by her excesssive world travel.
Jewish delis are the best. I’ll have a turkey and chopped liver on rye with cold slaw, please.
Off camera her most frequent comment to the media is “You Gonna Eat Those?”
It has to be kosher. If it is operated by reform Jews, it most likely WILL support Obama.
Who the f is this woman to dictate what we eat????? I can’t believe this is even an issue....And restaurants are stupid enough to accommidate???? She’s like a Hitler run amuck, crazy bitch that she is.....She should go on Weight Watchers and shut the hell up.....

...and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
Say Michelle, they're playing your song:
"Who let the dogs out..."
1 Kings 21.23 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
We have Weintraub's in Worcester, but I doubt it compares with a New York deli. Still, it's not bad.
You are right. Chewy was one of the good guys.
Probably, I am sorry say.
Yes they did.I'm SHOCKED.

Darden Restaurants gets break on health-care reform law November 10, 2010|By Sandra Pedicini, Orlando
SentinelOrlando-based Darden Restaurants is getting a break on part of the health-care reform law requiring companies to raise significantly annual coverage limits for low-cost insurance plans starting next year.
Darden is among more than 100 companies nationwide that have received one-year waivers, including McDonald's, Ruby Tuesday and Cigna, which writes health insurance plans.
Even THIS woman wants the wookie to keep her mouth shut!
Looove it!!!! :-)))))
God that burger, fries, and milkshake look YUMMMMY!!!
Good call on Darden Restaurants getting that Obamacare waiver.
The CEO of the place appears to be a friend of Obama. So now he takes 10% of his salt out over 5 years and gets a free national commercial courtesy of Michelle?
Corporate cronyism at its best.
I just had pizza and french fries for dinner.
